Re: Simple Idea for Gnome Journal
Hi,
I did a couple of these back in the day when I doing the GNOME Weekly
summaries. One of the ideas was to extend interviews and put up a
gallery on the website so everyone would know the contributors.
Two things:
a. They aren't that well-read other than if the person says
something really outstanding. People like celebrity and
controversy. If it's Linus then everyone cares what {insert
personal item like favourite jam/movie/car} you like ... if don't have
a profile no-one cares. Readers did seem interested in computer
questions that they could learn from or identify personally with - like
how X got into Linux, experiences of GNOME, favourite applications,
favourite sites, gnome tips and anything about future of GNOME/app
etc. Controversy obviously gets interest.
b. Ask open questions, and you'll probably have to heavily edit
the answers - don't feel it has to be a transcript. Just have the
interviee check the final copy to ensure that it's captured what they'd
like to say. You can pick the most interesting answers from a
range of questions.
Sometimes the value is in being recognised; Miguel's been interviewed a
hundred times, but the longest contributor to the bugsquad probably
hasn't.
